Reducing the numbers of back office PC's.

Our next project is to remove a PC from our back office systems, basically to free off a PC for another use.

We currently use Simplecast and Icecast on a PC acting as a desk encoder. This streams our audio across our studio LAN to our streaming software (Radio DJ) which inturn connecets via Simplecast to out serviec providers Shoutcast and Wowza servers. . We are looking to see how to get both functions on the one PC. We didnt expect it to be a major task but has been surprisingly complicated. We have almost finished sorting out a stable configuration but still have some more components to add and test. Hopefully this Saturday will be successful.
